He made the comment in a meeting with Pakistani delegation stressing,” Terror is not an Islamic project because basically Islam respects life of all people.”
 
The cleric noted that the role models for unity in the world of Islam does not necessitate countries to merge but the scale for solidarity is that there is no war, Takfir or terror in the Islamic countries and added that a counter-attack against such plots is to highlight axes for unity among Muslims.
 
Hujjat-ul-Islam Shahriari noted that some hostile measures aim to promote murder among different Islamic denominations.
 
Secretary General of World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought referred to the issue of Palestine as a common axis among all Islamic groups.
 
He said,” The growing pressure by Israeli regime pushed the Palestinian groups to launch a retaliatory attack” and added,” If it was not for Washington’s support for Tel Aviv, Israeli regime would certainly been defeated.”
